what does .filter do in javascript code example

Example 1: filter javascript array

var words = ['spray', 'limit', 'elite', 'exuberant', 'destruction', 'present'];

const result = words.filter(word => word.length > 6);

console.log(result);

Example 2: .filter js

const words = ['spray', 'limit', 'elite', 'exuberant', 'destruction', 'present'];

const result = words.filter(word => word.length > 6);

console.log(result);
// expected output: Array ["exuberant", "destruction", "present"]

Example 3: filter items javascript

// Filter items
function filterItems(e) {
  // Convert to lowercase
  var text = e.target.value.toLowerCase();
  // Get lis
  var items = itemList.getElementsByTagName('li');
  // Convert to an array
  Array.from(items).forEach(function(item) {
    var itemName = item.firstChild.textContent;
    if (itemName.toLowerCase().indexOf(text) != -1) {
      item.style.display = 'block';
    } else {
      item.style.display = 'none';
    }
  });
}

Example 4: javascript array filter

run.addEventListener("click", function () {
    let array = [];
    people.forEach((elem) => {
      // elem before age to target
      if (elem.age > 18) {
        array.push(elem); // each array elem > 18 is "pushed" inside the new array
        // console.log(array); nope : messes things up
      } else {
        (""); // no need to declare this through console.log
      }
    });
    console.log(array); //and there you have it : filtered array
  });
